History Podcast / Unknown9OutOfSight

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: In-universe, the father of Lindsay -- a high school cheerleader who has suddenly taken to creating strange art -- has this reaction when Blake and Lazari question him about her pieces. He's very casual about the sheer creepiness of most of her work, because he just sees it as outsider art that can be sold for high amounts.

* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: The pyramid that Lindsay makes that Lazari holds does weird things to her and makes her obsessed with getting it, and she seems to be in a trance when she holds it.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Lazari sounds human, aside from the distortion in her recorded voice, and uses human slang, and when people see her they don't really bat an eye. However, she can also seemingly cloak herself from being perceived and make people forget her.

* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Blake '''Elrich''', who investigates supernatural phenomena that seems connected to an el'''d'''rich abomonination.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Lazari sounds human, aside from the distortion in her voice, and uses human slang, and when people see her they don't really bat an eye. However, she can also seemingly cloak herself from being perceived and make people forget her.

* MysteriousPast: The podcast alludes to Lazari's past and why she is the way she is at least once per episode. She is obsessed with the unexplained just like Blake, had some event in her past that made her the way she is and it's implied her curiosity is what set the events in motion. Whatever's up with her is also tied into the wider mystery, given how drawn she is to the mysterious pyramid that Lindsay gives to her.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "The Hole", Blake and Lazari's visit to the eponymous hole and then fleeing the cultists is results in the landlord the hole is in joining said cult, and then the disappearance of said cult afterwards.
* TheNoodleIncident: Blake makes mention of a strange incident in his past that turned him onto investigating these things, while later also alluding to Lazari's weird nature and how they met. It seems the two stories are connected, especially since Blake can see Lazari consistently unlike everyone else, but he doesn't explain.

* Cult: The inhabitants of an apartment complex in Seattle who worship the rectangular hole in the basement of their building. They discuss hearing things that the listener can't hear, talk about its feelings and want to offer themselves to it. May overlap with CargoCult, if the thing is inanimate or not. [[spoiler: If it even exists]].

* AmbigiouslyHuman: Lazari sounds human, aside from the distortion in her voice, and uses human slang, and when people see her they don't really bat an eye. However, she can also seemingly cloak herself from being perceived and make people forget her.

* WhamLine: When Lindsay is told by Blake and Lazari that her uncle, Trevor, sent them to her, she responds with [[spoiler: "I don't have an Uncle Trevor"]], which is what kicks the idea of a long-term mystery into high gear.

* VanillaProtagonist: In-universe, Blake lampshades that he is one himself.

Blake Elrich is an urban explorer who investigates the inexplicable and unexplained. After having one of these strange encounters himself, he began a podcast named ''[[ShowWithinAShow Out of Sight]]'' with his partner and producer, Lazari, where the two travel across the country looking into cases concerning strange phenomena given to them on message boards.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Blake says this almost word for word when describing how Lazari can look like a typical college student.
* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: The pyramid that Lindsay makes that Lazari holds does weird things to her and makes her obsessed with getting it, and he seems to be in a trance when she holds it.

* ShowWithinAShow: The podcast contains an in-universe podcast that goes by the same name, omitting the "Unknown 9" part -- ''Out of Sight''. It's a paranormal podcast documenting Blake and Lazari's adventures in a documentary style that also acts as the framing device for the ''actual'' podcast.

Across their journey, they get a peek into the strange and supernatural, while encountering all manner of people. Blake also hints that Lazari's nature -- her distorted voice on the podcast and ability to be unseen until she speaks -- are tied into whatever is going on.
